Protocol
Patron records support without turning a creator into an asset. Your principal is held for the creator you choose; harvested surplus is paid to them.

The protocol
Your principal stays yours
Each deposit is recorded to your wallet and represented by a non-transferable receipt. Only the supporting wallet can withdraw its full active position.
Surplus supports the creator
When surplus is harvested, 90% goes to the creator's payout wallet and 10% goes to the protocol. Creators cannot withdraw supporter principal.
No position market
A receipt is not a creator token, investment, or transferable claim. There is no trading, price exposure, revenue share, or next buyer.
Solana enforces custody
Wallets sign deposits, withdrawals, and creator changes. Patron's backend indexes activity but has no key that can move supporter funds.

Current limits
Patron is configured for Solana mainnet using canonical Circle USDC. There is no live yield venue: surplus is externally donated USDC. There is no production liquidity guarantee or partial withdrawal. Review the published audit and deployment status before using real funds.
